Chapter 23: Not Just Moving Bricks

Chen Ai was exceptionally excited after logging off. As an artist, she quickly sketched out what happened today on her drawing tablet with a few strokes and posted it to the forum.

At 4:30 AM, the forum should have been very quiet. Chen Ai, who was habitually staying up late, refreshed the post. Feeling that no one would reply, she stretched and prepared to sleep.

It must be said, although she was playing a game at night, from the moment she put on the Helmet, she could consider herself to be sleeping.

Although her brain was still active, she didn't feel tired at all!

It could be said that she had completely started a second life.

"You have a new private message." The forum notification sound rang out. Chen Ai hissed and hurriedly refreshed the post.

She didn't expect there to be casual players at such a late hour.

Tomato Little Potato to Ai Ai Who Draws: I encountered something similar to you, though it wasn't the Witch profession. I'm a medical student. After logging in yesterday, I saw someone have a sudden illness, so I gave them first aid. Then an old man said he was willing to hire me to work at his pharmacy, and then I discovered that this old man is also a bit strange; he is very likely of the Pharmacist profession.

Ai Ai Who Draws to Tomato Little Potato: How is he strange? Tell me about it. Does he also have skills like entering a Mirror?

Tomato Little Potato to Ai Ai Who Draws: That's not it, but I saw him manipulating a cactus to water and fertilize his medicinal garden.

Seeing Little Potato's words, several active night-owl players couldn't sit still.

Especially those players who had slept for ten hours during the day; they were energetic at this moment, and it was likely they wouldn't be able to adjust their jet lag for a while.

You'eryuan: Then we have been working in the Farm, can we also awaken some profession? Farmer profession?

Luolita to You'eryuan: I don't think so. Don't you think the person who kidnapped Susan in the drawing looks a lot like the steward of our Nongzhuang? What was his name again, Evans?

Let's Play with Something New to Luolita: It is Evans. That outfit hasn't even changed. Let's wait for the daytime players to log off and ask them later.

Having played for two days, finally being able to touch upon the profession system made a group of players extremely excited.

Suddenly, some players who hadn't intended to fully "cultivate immortality" also joined the ranks of the cultivators.

Let's Play with Something New: I thought the game wasn't planning to release a profession system.

Luolita: In that case, if we go to the War Church to be soldiers, is it possible to unlock the Warrior profession?

You'eryuan to Luolita: Why do you always want to be a muscle-head?

Luolita: o(╯□╰)o, what, is that not allowed?

Soon, the players playing at night also logged off. One can stay in the game for a maximum of ten hours. By around 8:00 AM, a batch of players logged off and joined the discussion on the forum.

There were still many more players playing at night than during the day. After seeing someone describe the profession system in detail on the forum, some "brick-moving" players couldn't sit still.

The players at the Farm were fine; they wanted to finish their tasks first.

But the players moving supplies at the Train station had already started pondering the issue of the profession system.

【Regarding the main testing direction for the closed beta phase.】 ——by Eating Grapes Without Spitting Skins

According to the players' revelations, the game has currently displayed content related to the profession system. Besides that, the game has also displayed content related to agriculture, commerce, and religious systems.

Players can complete economic-oriented tasks in shops, pharmacies, Theaters, Nongzhuang, etc., but so far, it has not been revealed how to join certain special "professions," that is, the Awakened.

According to the game's settings, professions like Witch, Pharmacist, and Warrior are already set for the time being. Additionally, I believe the profession corresponding to the Wealth Church should be Merchant, the Wisdom Church is very likely related to the Mage profession, and there might be some special professions waiting for us to explore.

Theoretically speaking, the churches must have relevant methods to change professions, but due to the language barrier and the unclear task system, I think it is very likely that the profession test will have to wait until the next test cycle.

The test time is only two weeks, which means there are only ten days left. Now players can't even touch the edge of the profession system. What does this indicate?

It indicates that the developer is playing a big game!

They must want to make a game like the Metaverse, developing a grand world with virtual reality interaction!

Everyone should have also discovered that in the game, logging in at night is daytime, and logging in during the day is nighttime, which means there is only a half-day time difference from us. This is preparing for the future development of the Metaverse.

I suggest that everyone should not just focus on moving bricks, but also remember that the test cycle of this game is only two weeks. In two weeks, we should try our best to understand the game's plot and profession planning. After all, this is a data-wiping test. After these two weeks, who knows when the next test will be? Just moving bricks definitely won't work.

Luolita to Eating Grapes Without Spitting Skins: I remember there was an update today. According to the speed of official optimization, the next test shouldn't be too far away, right?

You'eryuan to Luolita: Stop dreaming. Most domestic game test cycles start at three to five years. After these two weeks of testing, the next test will likely have to wait until next year.

After Grape Skin posted this, the players were suddenly a bit uneasy.

This habit of domestic game testing is indeed very headache-inducing, and coupled with the fact that this game company isn't a big manufacturer, it's likely to be even slower.

The test is only two weeks in total, plus update time and resurrection time, and the game's ten-hour time limit. Even knowing this is for their own physical health, the players still felt dissatisfied.

Thinking that they were basically wasting their lives in the game, constantly moving bricks, everyone felt even more frustrated.

They just felt the test time was too short. If it were tested for ten or eight years...

Chen Zhi was also browsing the forum. He didn't intend to let the players wait too long. After all, he might not be able to hide it for three to five years and needed to let the game be released as soon as possible.

However, letting the players scout for information and explore the map was not a bad thing.

He also wanted to know what the profession system was; at least he had to update something on the official website.

Thinking of this, he directly pinned Eating Grapes Without Spitting Skins' post.

Then he sent over the recording of Chen Ai scouting the bushes during the day. As for the editing, he was too lazy to do it; he'd better let Chen Ai do it herself.

Although there was no official reply, the pinned post was more like a blockbuster, making the forum bloom.

Seeing the "pinned" label, Grape Skin felt that his guess was definitely correct.

Fortunately, he didn't follow the crowd to move bricks from the beginning, but instead developed new labor tools.

He believed that those brick-movers would soon be able to use the labor tools he developed.
